Light Speed. Can't help but think that Pakistan is wasting a golden chance to blood a youngster like Shahid Yousaf.

that it is.

But I refuse to accept or believe that dropping 3 catches and missing 2 run outs has not cost us anything.
 
CBN Channel doing a horrible job of showing the match!!!! That is the only free live stream and i am guessing everybody else is having the same issue.

not going to argue with that. Just don't think the impact was as big as you do.
 
Is there an early lunch today?

Or is it at 12 as normal?
 
Nope freaking zsports took over the rights for this series as a promotional thing so they can lure more customers to Zsports. That is why dish not showing it on payperview...my fta is of no use right now..:(

oh that's a really good point. I forgot about altered session for fridays.

edit: cricinfo has it listed as normal....then again I can easily see them overlooking this.

oh so there is an extended morning session.

I will have to stay at work until 12.30 then.

not leaving at 12 with us still batting.
 
Kallis 2 maiden overs. Rightly defended against this bowling. He can be a tricky bowler with a skiddy action.

Anyone wanna guess the batting plan rite now?

keep wickets in hand.

If we get through to lunch having just lost Asif, the saffies might start to panic.

But it is important we keep the scorecard ticking. Make Smithy think, make him put some defensive field positions in.
 
Mizbi is a lucky man! Outside edge falls in no-mans land!
 
CBN was getting their feed from Zsports for all days but since 2day z is covering ind/aus that's y no feed for cbn.
 
It's 184/4 with atleast 74 overs to go.

240 runs to win, and it's slowly going down!
 
Pakistan need to make sure that runs are been ticked over here so that they dont allow the pressure to build with South Africa putting more men around the bat.

what's the score?

185 for 4

239 runs to win.

Who would have taken that score at this stage if offered to you in the morning? I would!

actually, they were showing it but from some internet stream :po:
 
RRR of even 5 is possible as long as we have wkts in hand. I doubt it will ever reach that high most likely around 4 if we can last till tea.

So it will be about 120 runs to get in last 30 overs. Q is how many wkts we will have in hand?
 
Guys - we are going great!

Wickets in hand are the priority in session 1!

If we can go into the last session needing 120 of 20 overs @ 6 rpo - I'll take it!

Misbah not confident yet to move out of the crease and meet the ball. Kallis bowling good lengths and all Misbah can do is defend.
 
Hash said:
First innings, dropped three catches and missed two run outs.

I am saying that probably cost us 100 runs in total.
Click to expand...

Well since Kallis went onto make more than 100 runs after he was dropped, these mistakes hurt us badly.

185/4 after 51 overs.
 
seems like a different team is batting out there compared to the 3rd session yesterday...i hope Pakistan understands new ball is due in 29 overs...
 
Honestly? We are coasting this at the moment. SA will be desperate if they dont take another wkt
 
Frankly speaking - a draw would be a fantastic result but will give too much in the mental stakes to the Saffers for the next game.

Pakistan do need to get a move on to start making some inroads towards the target.

I am not sure if the current rate of scoring will take us to that target?
 
It's one in the morning here and I'm eating garlic pizza while watching match on my laptop. Now that's life!

Commies consistently reminding us that it's just about survival for Pak.

ball has barely swung at all in this match.

new ball will probably work to our advantage as it will come off the bat better.

I doubt Smith will have the guts to take the new ball. He will not be able to use Haris plus we maybe able to score faster with a harder ball.

It will be already going in Smiths head what to do in 30 overs.

it's 2am here on east coast....damn i wish i had pizza..lol
 
MIG,

been ultimatley realistic pakistan should play postively and think of going for win, but best i can see is a draw.

If we become negative we will lose.
 
Shot of the morning by YK! Straight down the ground for 4!

192-4
 
4 by YK - nice straight drive off Kallis - 232 to win now

as oxy said just dont loose wickets that will make the saffies do some silly things under pressure
 
Well I am heading home now not being very productive here at work ... Don't stress over it too much boys ... Insha allah we will get there.
 
New ball is not going to be a factor in this game unless we have our tail on. Pakistan just needs to play as long as they can. If pakistan play through lunch withouht any loss that will put S.A on defensive mode. Any wicket loss means we ll be one step back. Every new batsman will take time to settle. So we don't need to worry about runrates etc.
 
Man ARY sound is so bad, I'm having to use headphones.

Holy crap Misbah has 8 off 52 balls.
 
Misbah is allowing the bowlers to dictate terms. Its alright defending good balls but atleast punish the bad ones!

I think we need to score around 4050 more before lunch time
Click to expand...

An hour and 7 mins until lunch

If we can get there without losing another wicket then Smith will be crapping himself and our players will really start to believe that we can win this.
 
In IND/AUS match Symonds hits a 6 and someone gets their head smashed by the ball in the crowd.

my plan was to get 3 hours of sleep before the game...but that didn't work either

don't worry about slow run rate right now. That will come later.
 
Man i havent got to see a single day's match live. By the time I get home Match is over. Hoping to get off early today to get some live action.
 
Ooooh I love Steyn bouncers on this wicket! They tend to gow down leg for 4 byes.
